The Pioneer Drug Stors Of Logan,
now run by the firm of"Riter Brothers, ~
was es ablished as tar back as 1872, bv
DR.. Ormsoy. Eight years later, CT in
1889, partnership was formed by b
F. Bitter and Dr.. o. q. Ormsby, under
the firm of "Ormsbv Il Riter.'' by
whom the business was thereafter con
Quoted; the more immediate manage
ment Being under the direction of Mr..
Ritter, as DR.. Ormsby devoted his time
mainly 20 professional dnties.
In 1885 Hon. W. w. Ritter, of Salt
Lake. purchased the interest OF DR.
Ormsby in the business, and 2 new
partnership Vas formed between Mr.. B

firm name of Ritter Brothers"
After purchas ng toe business started
and maintained for a number of wears
by DIR. Ormsby, the Ritter Brothers,
soon found their quarters altogether
too small for their thriving aud ia
creaslng business; and the result was

such articles as are carried by druggists
only. The upper part of the building Is
